Improving Print Quality
If you are not satisfied with the print quality of your documents, there are several different ways
to improve the print quality.
• Use the appropriate paper. For example, use Dell Premium Photo Paper if you are printing
photos with a photo ink cartridge.
• Use paper that is a heavier weight, bright white, or coated. Use Dell Premium Photo Paper
if you are printing photos.
• Select a higher print quality.
To select a higher print quality:
1With your document open, click File→Print.
The Print dialog box opens.
2Click Preferences, Properti es, or Options (depending on your program or operating
system).
The Printin g Prefere nces dialog box opens.
3On the Print Setup tab select a higher quality setting.
4Print your document again.
5If the print quality does not improve, try aligning or cleaning the ink cartridges. For more
information on aligning, see "Aligning Ink Cartridges" on page53. For more information on
cleaning ink cartridges, see "Cleaning the Ink Cartridge Nozzles" on page 54.
